F-Droid Awarded Open Technology Fund's FOSS Sustainability Grant
I've got about 80% of my apps on F-Droid through this Obtanium https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium, which just handles Git releases. The F-Droid client feels clunky, and I've had some update errors before. With some improvements, it should return to being a good discovery tool and app manager so this is good news.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an open-source traditional roguelike dungeon crawler
Just FYI, there's an Android app called Obtainium that lets you add Github (and a few other) repos to it. Obtanium will then check those repos for updates and install the new APK for you. Its pretty slick for people that prefer to get their APKs direct from the dev.

F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
While F-Droid will manage updates to anything installed through it's shop, you aren't stuck manually checking and updating things if you go decide to download APK releases directly. Obtanium is essentially a tracker/updater for managing your APKs from a broad range of sources. At the moment I'm only using it for a Bluesky client I grabbed off GitHub but I can see replacing the F-Droid shop with it once I've really settled on my app choices. Something on the list to investigate later.
